I have a 91 Mitsubishi Eclipse,there is no fuel getting to the engine. The
fuel pump was not working,so I ran a hot wire to it. The pump runs now and
there is fuel coming from the filter,so it is not the filter.Could there
be no power to the pump&injection? I replaced the fuel injection control
module,did not help. I poured a little fuel in through the intake,it runs
until it burns that fuel then dies. PLEASE HELP?

there is a common problem in the computers of older mitsu's and especially
dsm's, where an electronic component fails and leaks caustic crap on to the
printed circuit board. if i am not mistaken, the traces on the circuit board
for the fuel injectors often get "eaten" when this problem occurs.
your computer is in a metal box in your center console. pull it out and open
the box. you will most likely see traces of corrosion surrounding the three
cylinder shaped electrolytic capacitors.
$100 is common for a used ecu. anything that has not been "re-capped" will
need to be serviced. the parts are $1.50 and if you catch it before the
board is damaged it is pretty easy to fix.
